Are home prices rising or falling in my city?
Are home prices rising or falling in your city? Read this and know in 5 minutes — not guesses.
Quick, Real Answer (No Fluff)
Short answer: it depends on your city. Local supply, buyer demand, mortgage rates, and new listings drive price moves. Some cities are still rising, some are stabilizing, and a few are correcting. The only way to know for sure is to check the local indicators below — and act on them.
5 Local Market Indicators That Tell You if Prices Are Rising or Falling
- Sales-to-List Ratio: Above 100% = rising prices. Below 95% = falling pressure. This is the fastest signal.
- Inventory (Months of Supply): Under 3 months = sellers’ market (prices up). Over 6 months = buyers’ market (prices down).
- Average Days on Market (DOM): Falling DOM = rising prices. Rising DOM = cooling market.
- New Listings vs Closed Sales: More new listings than sales = downward pressure.
- Median/Avg Price and Price per Sq Ft (3–6 month trend): Look for consistent movement, not one-month noise.

How to Check These Metrics for Your City
- Local MLS data (REALTORS® or local board). Most accurate.
- Provincial/national associations (e.g., CREA) for broader context.
- County/city property portals for transaction history.
- Talk to a local agent who runs weekly/monthly market reports.

What These Signals Mean For You (Actionable Next Steps)
- If indicators show rising prices: list now if you need to sell, or lock financing and buy before rates or competition push prices higher.
- If indicators show falling prices: prioritize inspections and negotiate stronger contingencies; sellers should prepare to price competitively and stage for quicker sales.
- If mixed signals: watch 6–8 weeks. Use contingent offers or staged listing strategies.
Why Local Expertise Beats National Headlines
National charts are headlines. City-level trends are business decisions. I track weekly sales-to-list ratios, inventory, and price-per-sq-ft for neighborhoods across the region. That gives me the exact pulse — not an opinion. That’s why sellers get top offers and buyers win bids without overpaying.
